The yellow and black spider is an Orb-weaver. They use the zigzag pattern to capture their prey. They’re great for gardens. 🕸️

[@TheMoziere]

I had one as a pet when I was a teen Beautiful spiders, they don't bother people but they can eat some skeeters

[@Mrsmess6466]

My horse had a shelter, he would rather eat in a hail storm than seek shelter. So contrary! Stay safe in the heat guys x

[@nikkicheshier1791]

Fantastic job and in that heat I’m really proud of you both and great job on the skid steer Marissa 👍👏

[@nancykendrick9849]

Those spiders have the coolest web. It is like a zigzag built in the web!!! Really cool we have them too!! They have a big whit looking bag that hangs for the babies!!the size of a pecan!! They are just cool spiders. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lindahipp8329]

Good job by you and Marisa out putting up the fence.

[@melissasanders298]

Dang .. Marisa has that skid steer driving down … she did awesome job !!

[@suemarlette1857]

That yellow and black spider is a good spider! It’s a garden spider. It eats the bad bugs. I think it’s beautiful.

[@cynthiapease6679]

I don't know how you handle that heat! I'm happy to live in Northern NH, snow and all!😊 Hope you two stay hydrated, and very careful In the heat!🙏🌸 You, and Marisa sure make a Great Team! 🥰 Beer-30😂 love it!🍻 Keep Bison Ranchin! Fence is looking Awsome!🙏🦬🌸💜

[@jsnanax4.]

Thank you Dusty for sharing your farm with us.

[@dianafredette9469]

Nice work Marissa in the skid-steer, i know i couldn't work that thing. LOL.

[@davidwoody1737]

Have you thought about tying temporary plastic strips the same color as the paddles you use to move the bison ? This would allow them to see the new wire and they would be more aware of the paddles because they are the same color as the new electric fence. I really like to follow your channel.

[@alicemayer1297]

If I was Marissa I’d want to run the skid steer too. I’m 73 & you two are so lucky to have this ranch adventure in front of you. My husband & I always did our projects together. I just encourage you to have patience with each other & find some humor in all your “ adventures”.

[@alanatolstad4824]

I've been watching the national weather forecast to see what you folks are dealing with. I loved the sprinkler set-up!

[@HCWHunter]

Any vegetation that touches the hotwire will complete the circuit to the ground and usually be killed. If it has enough moisture in it, it may also short-circuit the line so you need to keep an eye on that.

[@stefherman2375]

Y'all are such a great team! Marissa does a great job on the skid steer.

[@m.gramlich239]

I'm 70 yrs. old now, but I was a farm girl who lived and grew up with electric fences. We always had something tied to the top row of the hot wires so the animals saw it hanging or flying in the wind so they realized that the smooth wire was there. Nothing worse than a crazy running wild animal/s not seeing a smooth wire fence and blasting right through it, especially when they've never had the fence in that place or that type of wire. Definitely CAN NOT have weeds or bushes touching that wire as it will short it out. I can still hear the snap of a sparking electric wire. Gives me chills remembering getting zapped by the electric fence, and it's been over 50 years. Good luck!

[@HensOnly]

Crawling UNDER the hot wire wasn't a good idea either. As soon as my back touched the wire, it knocked me flat on my stomach. Boy it hurt! I bet my horse, who was behind me watching, was laughing.

[@mscampbell1242]

"Beer 30"...enjoy a cold one you two! Nice job!!

[@gwenfowler1826]

Wow, lots of work. Proud of ya’ll for hanging in there and getting it done. Marisa, you do good work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@brendabateman4322]

Hard working ranchers! And great teamwork!!💗

[@anaharp4505]

My little garden this year seems to be a preferred place for those huge garden spiders along with an abundance of praying mantis. Nothing like walking into a new web on my morning walk through the garden

[@lovinawright128]

Katherine, ha who knew. I like Marissa 👍 Good luck with the hot wire installation. So glad you have your hard working wife to help you. 😅❤ God bless you all in keeping your animals safe and keeping your family safe. Praying 🙏 🤲 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@juliederry3719]

The young bison certainly were enjoying the sprinkler, and teamwork makes the dream work guys, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

[@carlamullenberg1029]

I love seeing how you and Marrisa work as such a team transforming the Ponderosa and how you care for all your livestock. Cora is growing into a beautiful horse.

[@janetscott5252]

The heat is lethal on livestock and humans! I pray for you all to get through it all. God bless! 💜🙏💜

[@lindanolf2113]

Marissa has power with that machine.❤😊😊

[@charlesandkathyhobbs8033]

Marissa, I am so proud of you for doing what you do on the Pondarosa with Dusty. Not many women do what you do. Also my name is Katherine also. Have a blessed day you 2.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

My name is Nancy-Katharyn... enjoy all of your questions & Hard Work, contributing to your Bison Ranch with your hard working husband Dusty, Marissa! Stay strong!

[@belamoure]

Love the sprinkler for kid bisons! It is 73.4° F here in Ottawa, Ottawa Valley, Ontario CANADA. But we had record rainfall for the whole summer. Not a darn tomato in my 3 feet high plants! I'll move to Oklahoma to get them tomatoes. But with that heat of yours I may get ketchup. Always an inspiration to see how you manage both so well your ranchand animals.

[@terrystarr2617]

Yes, Dusty, you hit the jackpot with Marissa. I feel the heat for you - was 100 degrees here Wednesday. Best of luck with the fencing.

[@ernestinephillipsawesome4295]

You are so💗🌷 sweet to your helper. She is a brave girl. She doesn't quit. She is a keeper.👍💛

[@applemac100100]

💯

[@dolliemaesone]

Dusty I think your speaking the blah blah language,when it comes to the electric line . ❤😂Marissa your killin it ! 😊 Beautiful Oklahoma sunset !

[@dancnluc1]

WOW, that is hot. I am complaining about 97. The life of a bison - glad they are enjoying the sprinkler. Way to go Marissa! Team Work ! Sure beats using a post driver.

[@Dovejep]

Dusty- Don't worry if a post is crooked or too high/too low...the Bison will never notice, I promise! Well, maybe the "jumper" might! haha Marisa is a ROCKSTAR!! Good job you two! 🤩

[@judyredding588]

Dusty you and your family take good care of your animals because they are part of your family. 🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Gotta a lot of good comments and suggestions. We are trying to stay cool here in oklahoma. We get this every year. Nothing has changed. God bless America.

[@rosal6663]

Marvelous let's smash the like button to show support for this channel. Thank you all. 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@spiercephotography]

The spider is a Garden Orb Weaver they are so cool (but i'm also a fan of spiders). They make the funnel webs which is pretty neat. They aren't medically significant or anything so don't worry!

[@dianswikert268]

Marissa...great job.....with the ground that hard and dry...old T-post....some are gonna bend.....if Dusty were working with Daniel....Daniel would never say " SORRY".....we women have learn to quit saying sorry all the time.......love see both of ya'll workin 2gether ❤😊

[@bettycarter8339]

When I was a kid dad put an electric wire around his pigs. It was temporary and when he finished fixing the old pasture fence, he took the electric wire down. It was a long time before the pigs would go past where the electric wire had been. Pigs are smarter than people think.

[@AlpacaMade]

Thank you for the quick diagram. Since I'm relatively new to your channel, it helped a lot. Rotational grazing FTW!👍

[@mercedithcompala8148]

All looks good, remember to keep you all cool 😎 too. Good luck with the fencing 👍😁💥💦👋🪶

[@pathamm5834]

Pigs are really known to be intelligent animals , the same as elephants and dolphins

[@judithrivin2031]

Marissa and you are a great team. Constant learning. Bless the entire family and that includes the bison.

[@debbiostendorf3880]

I’m in SW Ohio and it’s 99 right now, it was 101 earlier. We’ve had no rain for several weeks, the grass is crunchy but the weeds are growing. Next week it’s supposed to be cooler. We can hope.

[@hearourvoice5495]

I’m in NE Ohio, we are getting thunder and it just got real dark. We were canning tomatoes, spaghetti sauce and made ketchup , it’s in canner right now. Hopefully it will rain, agreed need it bad.

[@margesteinmetz863]

They are pouting because yearling took their spot. If I had a sprinkler I wouldn't move either.😂😂🤠. Praying for cool weather and rain.🙏. Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶

[@ernestinephillipsawesome4295]

I think you can get through the heat with your animals❤👍🤗🐂. Lots of experience and good help from Marissa. She is amazing👍🤗🌹🌿

[@dianebollman9979]

Great teamwork with you and Marissa. Great to have your friends help also. Lot of hard work but it will be worth it.

[@Jonigmickna]

You two are ROCKIN’ RANCHIN’

[@shellclem1479]

WAY TO GO!!!! Kathryn LOL!!! Take the helm girl, get it done! I like it.

[@ernestinephillipsawesome4295]

Where there's a will ...there's a way. 👍🏡Gotta got it Done.🐂

[@maddiem1030]

When I grew up on a dairy farm I would watch my dad put in electric fences and he only put one strand too. It worked for the cows. They didn’t try to go thru it. Your fence should work. Good luck. I do enjoy watching your videos. You two work so great together.😊

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy watching your videos Dusty, Marissa and Brooke. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and other animals and keeping the animals cool

[@smartgrandma]

You two are such a great team! I hope and pray that this will be an easy fix for you! Please stay hydrated, take the time to cool off periodically...... Watch out for the symptoms of heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke is deadly! With prayers, love and gentle hugs for y'all and your critters, too, Donna Gulyas in Florida.

[@shirleybylsma4482]

I am so jealous that Marissa got to drive the skid steer.

[@labcat647]

Thanks for the pasture number map… would be helpful if you popped it up anytime you refer to a pasture number in the future.

[@JoAnnBizorik]

Great job Marissa!!! And Dusty!! I love how you call Marissa the CEO Happy Labor Day Love blessings and prayer for all of you!!

[@occamsrazor7939]

We have been cooking here in east Texas. We finally received some rain yesterday, and it's cooled off. 86° right now.

[@kimberlycard5595]

So proud of Marissa 👍🏻 I think I could do some damage on a skid steer 🤣

[@lindacampbell5546]

We are just now cooling off here (high of 85-90). The last weeks have been over 100. Our dogs, who love outside, have become inside homebodies. Stay safe and just remember “hydrate” “hydrate” “hydrate”.

[@denault3985]

The animals are in luck, temputures are coming down (mid-eighties) over the holiday weekend into next week. There is also a chance of rain today Friday, Saturday & Wednesday.

[@Runemaster293]

Love how attentive you all are to those wild beasts and that you SHARE it with us city-dweller's whose grandparent's sold the farm... Thank you.

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooks. Stay safe and hydrated. I know you are doing your best to keep your animals with fresh water. Having the right equipment makes your job easier to install fence. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@ernestinephillipsawesome4295]

Glad you're doing videos again. Awesome information👍. Those bison love the shower.

[@ElaineHammond-l2l]

You are such a good team. Marisa is a bad ass with the skid steer!!!

[@KCLady324]

Team work yes!!!! Making great use of your equipment!! Be very careful in the heat!

[@kimberly1273]

Love seeing Marissa!

[@gigigigi2298]

Hard work done right 😊

[@pamelahousley7543]

Stay safe & hydrated - Looking good.

[@d6375]

❤❤❤ I love seeing Cathy out there working with you! She is a bad ass for sure!

[@michelemcdermott75]

Hot here in Pittsburgh, too! Hope this heat breaks soon…especially for all your animals!🦬🐎🐕🐓

[@nancyplatteter5592]

What a great gal you are married to. She is such an amazing partner for you. Your mama raised you and your sister to be hard working people. Your channel and the Arms channel have given me many hours of calming entertainment in this crazy world we live in. God bless you and the Arms family.

[@Ramona57-TX]

That fencing is a lot of work. When I ran my underground wire at the gates, I used small PVC underground with an elbow joint and a few inches vertical piping alongside the gate post to really protect the wire.

[@izzy1949]

Love the way Kathy and you work together no matter wot the job is… you go girl you rock… your cool to Dusty😊❤

[@RRRRRRandy]

Could you install a mister or two? They use less water, provide a cooling effect, and I have even seen them used for people.

[@mistypfitzer111]

U guys could buy a misting system thats portable they just hang up like on umbrellas or something like they have at garden centers ect to keep the bison cool maybe without using as much water/creating mud 😊 praying 4 yall ❤

[@lauraanderson8244]

So glad you have a good CEO.

[@keradee8742]

Have you considered using insulated extenders that attach directly to the t post? They hold the hit wire several inches away from the fence and are much easier to install.

[@amberalexander6692]

We’ve been having triple digit temperatures in Tennessee also. It’s horrible. I feel for you guys trying to keep all the animals cool.

[@staciehunt7936]

Electric fence was always fun putting up and taking down

[@debbiebowyer1583]

You and Marrisa work good together ! Team work gets it done quicker ! Cora is so beautiful ! The T-post driver pipe worked good , no bent posts awesome ! Have a great week ❤

[@jenniewolford1631]

garden spiders soooo cute

[@butchbinion1560]

Thanks, you’re ranching now. Best of luck. ✌🏻👊🏼

[@lauralauren6432]

You can give the horses a shower or lending the sprinkler to them a while. They are probably not used to go to the trees. You got some hard work. Thanks

[@maryjanedowns4040]

I love seeing the bison 🦬 to me they are beautiful animals here in Circleville ohio we had a couple farms with them at one time but the farms passed and the families no longer raise them but I still like seeing them

[@karolschulz48]

Get the chainsaw type blade for a string trimmer. That takes care of those black caps. Just wear chaps.

[@julien9335]

Marissa, nothing like learning on the job. Secretly I hope you enjoyed it…I know I would and I’ve never driven anything other than a car! Lol

[@leetackla4608]

The best thing to do is put up out door shelters for the heat. Horses and Bison probably would use them

[@frankdodgee]

Hot wire is a good idea. Bison are smart so it won’t take them but once,,,,,to figure it out 👍

[@johngirsch5819]

It's so cool Marissa will work with you on these projects

[@carolhankinsHankins2.0]

Now Dusty, don't expect many of us to start calling your wife Kathy after we have only known her are Marissa before today. She is a very hard-working wife and mother, and you need to keep this gal a happy gal or else you lose out on all this free labor, cooking and babysitting for your beautiful little angel and you would never want to have to pay her the going rates for all these things that you get free now, would you?🙂

[@mikewall7450]

I was planning to do the same at my place & have a 5' "no mans land" between the fence and the perimeter fence just to be on the "safe side"

[@Kathleensailorgirl]

Wow you are both a great team 😊 Blessings to you and 🙏🙏🕊🕊🥰

[@lindahollister5530]

I forgot to say i love the cute little bison on here. Hello to you two. Good luck with the fence😂😂. You all have a great Labor Day weekend🎉🎉🎉🎉. WOW, that driver came in handy. No more bending the posts❤❤❤.

[@lenalyles2712]

You need to make sure no vegetation is touching the hot wire, it will ground it and your wire is no longer hot.

[@cartafamily717]

We need that heat up north out here in central PA has been 70-80 and night lows 60’s Stay cool ya’ll blessings

[@micah06v8]

This summer has just been brutal. I'm pretty sure the problem with your energizer is plant matter. Any vegetation touching the wire can short it out or severely limit the power it can pull. So you may want to consider moving it up a bit. I'm pretty sure those weeds get over 24 inches tall in that pasture. 😕

[@teresaburnette3778]

It was 99 degrees today here in Ohio and all I did was water my plants. Thank God there wasn't anything else I had to do. I don't know how you guys do it but please be careful❤

[@rebeccascarbrough4658]

110+ here. No rain and no you never get use to it 😓😓😓

[@occamsrazor7939]

My friend made the mistake of planting some Oleander flowers near a fence row. They had some calves die. She asked me about the flowers being responsible. I said yes. With Oleander plants/flowers, the whole plant is poisonous.

[@debandrews2554]

I never get enough of this. And I don’t know why!! I don’t even own a dog!!

[@rosavillegas9983]

It's amazing what you do for your bisons. God bless you always

[@shirleygilbert2428]

Those are good spiders

[@vickiemeeks5399]

Hello Marisa and Dusty. Stay safe❤

[@occamsrazor7939]

I had a friend whose family had cattle. They had a stubborn bull that kept tearing up the fence and escaping to a farm with cows down the road from them. Her dad put in an electric fence to stop him. It didn't work. So her dad up the power on that fence. When he checked on his bull the next day, that stubborn bull was belly up. He didn't escape anymore.

[@marjoriejones8280]

That bull died ?
